Playoff scenarios
The Eagles already clinched a spot in the NFL playoffs, but they no longer control their destiny after last week's loss.
Philadelphia can no longer get the No. 1 seed because it's locked up by the San Francisco 49ers. But what about the No. 2 seed?

To get the No. 2 seed and potentially win the NFC East, the Eagles need to beat the Giants and the Dallas Cowboys need to lose to the Washington Commanders.
With the Cowboys being nearly two touchdown favorites vs. Washington, the NFC East title and No. 2 seed are unlikely, so the Birds are most likely to earn the No. 5 seed and play the winner of the NFC South in a road playoff game.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons all have a chance to make the playoffs in Week 18.
If the Eagles win the NFC East, they'll become the first repeat division winners since the early 2000s when they won the division from 2001 to 2004.
